Halle Berry caused a big stir at the 2025 Met Gala — and not in the way she probably hoped. As soon as she hit the red carpet, her gown quickly became one of the most talked-about looks of the night.

Halle Berry was among the Met Gala 2025 guests who embraced see-through fabrics for their red carpet entrances on Monday’s event. The actress wore a custom look by LaQuan Smith, featuring a sparkling black sequined dress with sheer panel details creating a striped pattern.
